ABSTRACT

Quardicuspid aortic valve, an infective endocarditis’s risk factor, has the property inborn aortic valve disease but disease development not up to enough understood. Infective endocarditis is together with 1, 4% of the cases. Aortic regurgitation may be seen together and transesophageal echocardiography is important for these patients because of diagnosis. Our case, a thirty nine years old woman, was asymptomatic quardicuspid aortic valve with aort valve regurgitation and we diagnosed via transesophageal echocardiography. We recommended antibiotic prophylaxis and annual follow to the patient. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2018; 8(1):30-32
